Details

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the braided clutch cable could contact the rear brake line and cause the brake line to abrade over time, resulting in a loss of rear brake fluid.

Why it matters: The loss of rear brake fluid could cause the loss of rear brake function, possibly without warning and could cause a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the braided clutch cable. Owner notification began October 21, 2002.
